and a mile wide, named after Father De
Smet, a Catholic priest who traversed
this section years ago on TN Indian mis-

empty a number of small mountain
streams. and yet its average depth does
not vary. This is remarkable for the rea-

As a matter Of fact not only Rawlins
but every town in the territory with pro-
gressive inclinations should organize a
board Of trade. The value of such an or
ganIzation lies in the fact that the town
then has a society of business men en-
powered to act, who are readily reached,

are very hard to reach and it is
next to impossible to get concerted action

A very important telegram reached
Receiver Garrard from Washington yes
terday. 1t reads as follows:
On final desert entries within railroad
limits, where praties paid twenty-five
cents per acre on original entries, collect
50. % per acre, so that the total payments
will be So so per acre.
WIN. A. j. SPARKS Commissioner.
This telegram was received in response
to an inquiry sent from here asking for
further information regarding the recent
desert land circular issued by Commits
sioner Sparks. In that circular it was
stated that the price to be paid hereafter
for all desert land within the railroad
limit would be 50. so per acre. The ques-
ton then naturally arose as to whether
this order would apply to cases where
filings had already been made and the
entrymen advanced their first payment of
twenty-five cents an acre. The commits
missioner formally decides that it does.
We esteem this latest decision of Com
missioner Sparks as the most arbitrary
and unjust that has ever emanated from
the land office. Its enforcement will work
cruel injustice to a large body of honest
people and place the government in the
pitiable position of swindlIng its citizens
out of their hard-earned savings.
The well-known price of desert land has
hitherto been $l.25 an acre. On this
basis many people have already taken up
land of this character which is located
within the railroad limit They have al
ready in good faith made the first pay
ment of 25 cent al acre as required by
law. They hold the receivers re-
ceipt for the same, and not
only that, but an agreement with
the government hat upon evidence
of the satisfactory reclamation of the land
and the payment of an additional 81 an
acre they will be given title to the land.
In many instances these entrymen have
been forced to make close calculations OF
their savings in order to meet their final
payments. The doubling of the price
will practically shut them out. Should
these men her lose the fruit of their
labors, their desert rights and the money
they have turned into the government in
first payments
They certainly should not.
1t is Mr.. Sparks privilege to increase
the price of desert land within the rail-
road limit. After the price has been fixed
people may or may not take up the land
Just as they see fit. The outrage in the
present instance is in giving the ruling a
retroactive application and attempting to
force people to pay 81 an acre for land
which the government has already con-
tracted to sell them for sl.2 5 per acre.
We hope the ruling will be modified so
as to include only those desert entries
made subsequent to the publication ot
the order.

WOMEN AT DINNER,
They Are Always Good Company, B


They Are Always Good Company, But
Not Good Diners.
"Who are the best companions at a din
ner?' asked a New York San writer of a
distinguished gourmet.
"Women are almost invariably good COM
pany, but you should remember never to
waste good dinner on woman. They have
absolutely no idea of the delicacies and beau
ties of thoroughly balanced dinner, and
the Younger they are the less able are they
to appreciate the work of all accomplished
chef. There is scarcely woman in New
York who would not rather put on new
gown and eat wretched dinner amid the
splendor Of Delmonico's or the Brunswick
than eat capital dinner at a lowly restaurant
A man. on the other hand, had rather eat a
good dinner in hovel than bad one in
palace What the women like is lots of
tinsel, gold, cut glass, colored lights, gor-
geous ices, graceful champagne glasses, and
strains of music Give them these things,
and they don't care a rap for the rest. If
YOU take stupid friend to dinner, you. stand
a yery fair chance of having your meal
lspoiled unless he is very old friend. If
YOU know him very well, you may indulge
lin long periods of silence-the privilege of
old friendships-an devote your entire at
tention to the dinner. In this case stupid
friend is often a blessing in disguise, for 1t is
very annoying at times to be obliged to keep
up a running fire of small talk when there's

THE HOME.

The Picture of the Apostolic Church Re-
stored by the Family.
True society begins in the home. When
two young people love each other and marry
they restore the picture of the apostolic
church. They are of one heart and one SOUL
!, Neither do they say that anything they pos
,ess is their own, but they have all things in
common. Their mutual trust in each other,
their entire confidence in each other, draws
out all that is best in both. Love is the
angel who rolls away the stone from the
grave in which we bury our better nature,
and it comes forth. Love makes all things
new; makes new Heaven and new earth !;
makes all cares light, all pain easy. 1t is the
one enchantment of human life which
realizes Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's pal
ace, and turns the Arabian Nights" into
mere prose in comparison. Think how this
old story of love is repeated forever in all the
novels and romances and poems, and how
we never tire of reading about it; and how
if there is to be wedding in a church all
mankind go, just to have one look at two
persons who are supposed, at least, 70 be in

before real society can come, true homes

the midst of the great sea of ice which
rolls down from the summit of
Mont Blanc is found little green spot
full of tender flowers SO, in the shelter of
home, in the warm atmosphere of household
love- spring up the pure affections of parent
and children; father, mother, son, daughter;
of brothers and sisters. Whatever makes
this insecure, and divorce frequent, makes of
marriage not a union for life, but an expert
ment which may be tried as often as we choose,
and abandoned when we like. And this cuts
up by the roots all the dear affections of

culties of the question, and how much wis

AMERICAN RAILWAYS.
Much Slower Time Made ON Them Than
on English Roads.

There is an impression on this side OF the
Atlantic that railway accidents in America
are mainly due to the craze for swift travel
which characterizes our cousins in the New
World In reality the American trains travel,
as a rule, much more slowly than ours, and
with less average of casualties than is
yearly put at the doors of the English rail
way companies. For instance, the express
trains between New York and Albany aver
age only 294 miles per hour, though the track
is almost level while the Plying Scotch
man averages 80 miles over a considerable
part of the distance between London and Ed
inburgh Between New York and Boston
the speed is rarely over 80 miles an hour,
though the course is much easier than that
between London and Manchester, which is
sometimes traversed at the rate of Al 3-5 miles
an hour This speed is, indeed, only at
tanned by one American line-what may be
called the ''limited mail" between New
York and ChicagO-which charges a heavy
extra fare for the accommodation afforded.
Taking them all round, the best English
trains exceed those of America fully twenty
five per cent. in speed. Indeed, it would be
impossible for the American trains to travel
as fast as ours-especially over the Western
lines. 1t is seldom that the permanent way
is as good as that on the English roads. 1t
has been hastily constructed, in order to
qualify the company to claim the State sub
sidy, or the alternate quarter sections of land
on either side ofthe track-which have grown
to be the government bribe to the construct
ors of railways in the newer parts of the
Union. The result is that the way is fire.
quently badly laid, and, as in the case of the
Central Pacific railroad, has to be practically
relaid after the first trains have run over it.
In England it is universally acknowledged
that we have, as rule, better roadbeds, a
track absolutely isolated, and with most of
the crossings, footpaths and intersecting lines
above or below grade. Wehave, in addition,
a better code of signals and shorter stops at
|the stations, because the carriages open side
ways, and can be emptied in third of the
time it takes an American car to discharge
tits passengers. These advantages are, no
ioubt, counter .lanced by certain draw
backs. Probo y we could advantageously
Initiate the -mericans in one or two matters,
particularly in the various little conveniences
their carriages possess, and in the baggage
checking system. But, on the whole, the
English railway directors who visit IT,
United States return better pleased with their
own system than when they set out, and so
far from being appalled, at the accidents on
our lines are rather astonished that consid-
ering the speed at which we travel, and the
vast traffic carried, the casualties are so few.

The papers print long lists of federal
oniceholders in Pennsylvania, who were
members of and in attendance upon the
democratic State convention in that State
The list comprises collectors, treasury
agents, postmasters, custom house in>pec-
tors and officials of all branches of the
federal service. One report of the con
vention says that if space had been set
apart for these public officers "they would
have occupied an area of seats nearly as
large a. inaJ reserved for the Philadelphia
delcgation," and that most of them,
owing their appointments to Mir. Randall,
were vigorously advocating his interests
in the convention. Not one Of these, it is
safe to say, will be called to amy account.
1t is true that President Cleveland, in
an order issued July 18th, 1856, SAID
deem this proper time to especially
warn all subOrdinates in the several de
artments and all utIicehoders under the
general government against the use of
leir official positions in attempts to con
troll political movements in their localities.

not their m tsters. Not only are their

but they skOuld scrupulously avoid, in
their political action as well rs in the dis

Il display of Obtrusive partlsanship, their
neiG hbors who have relations with them

of federal ofliceholders should not he ielt

meetings aud nominating conventions
The use by these officials of their posi- ions
to compass their selection as delegates to
political conventions is indecent and I'M

neither disfranChised nor forbidden the

But this WAS over a year ago. A ma
